A chilly start to the day, a 'balmy' 2 degrees, and, inspired by yesterday, I drop Oz off to school and headed down to Calshot beach with the house brick of a camera that is the Pentacon 6.
Sporting a 30mm fish eye lens I was excited to experiment (if not sad that I forgot my gloves). My particular camera has a bit of a quirk in that the film counter doesn't work - every shot is number 24. It's not that much of a pain as long as I remember to keep count of what frame I've got up to. And yes, I did totally lose count after about 7 shots.
On the subject of quirks, the shutter also seemed to be firing slower than I would expect for the set speeds so I ended up switching from 250 to 500 and going all the way down to f 3.5 on this very overcast, grey morning.
I've only ever shot on this beast once before, 5 years ago and I seem to recall overlapping frames and some other random 'quirks'.
Although I didn't shoot anything particularly inspiring or even interesting I'm keen to see how this roll turned out. Literally no clue on this one, could be massively over exposed.
